Work hard, together to reach a community, one individual at a time.

We are a people driven by hope and are agents of change in the communities of Kensington, Tafelsig and beyond.

COMMUNITY NEED

The following challenges are prevalent in the Factreton / Kensington area:

  • Hunger
  • Illiteracy
  • Unemployment
  • Underdevelopment

Known as Ward 56 and according to the census 2011, the area of Factreton / Kensington consists of predominantly coloured people. Only 48% of this population (aged 20 years and older) has completed Grade 12 (the final schooling year). Almost 50% of household incomes in the area are R3200 or less and from the total population of residents in Factreton and Kensington, the unemployment rate averages a staggering 65% (2011, Census). With the recent impact of Covid 19, these numbers have drastically increased.

Factreton is particularly notorious for its gang violence, domestic violence, substance abuse, and property crime, including house break-ins and car theft. There are three gangs that operate across the Factreton and Kensington area: The Nice Time Kids, who operate predominately in ‘Die Gat’ (The Hole); The Wonder Kids, who operate predominately in Factreton; and the Americans, who operate predominately in Kensington. Prison Gang influence also has a strong hold and plays a major role in crime within the area. Turf war is prevalent especially in Factreton, stronghold to two rival gangs.

THE 123 MOVEMENT SOLUTION

The 123 Movement is a strategic non-profit that combats injustices: one community member at a time. Many of the people of the Factreton / Kensington have lost hope in life because of the injustices experienced through South Africa’s history of systemic racism and its impact resulting in a lack of opportunities and lack of upskilling development of her people. The COVID 19 Pandemic has added pressure to this volatile community and worsened her reality.

The 123 Movement not only meets the basic needs of this community: Food and shelter. It also strategically empowers individuals to become purposeful beings in their households, schools, and community by upskilling individuals through literacy programs, economic empowerment opportunities and combatting gangsterism and substance abuse strongholds through support programs and focused leadership development groups. We apply our theory of change in everything we do and with everyone we meet.

This is an operation that functions four times a week depending on food resources. We operate from a base in Glider Crescent, in the heart of ‘Die Gat’, where joblessness and hunger are prevalent.

Read Learn Lead
